The technique of skeletal muscle blood-oxygenlevel-dependent (BOLD) MR imaging has
been derived from functional MR imaging of the brain. In neuroimaging, the BOLD technique …

Biomechanical analysis of pelvic floor dysfunction requires knowledge of certain
biomechanical parameters, such as muscle fiber direction, in order to adequately model …

In this study, multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was conducted to monitor
skeletal muscle changes in dystrophic (mdx 4cv) and age-matched control (C57BL/6J) mice …

Study Design: Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) reconstruction of
lumbar erector spinae (ES) compared with cadaver dissection. Objective: The aim of this …

In vivo gene electrotransfer (ET) is a simple method of gene delivery in various tissues
relying on the injection of plasmid DNA followed by application of electric pulses …

The present study shows a new computational FEM technique to simulate the evolution of
the mechanical response of 3D muscle models subjected to fatigue. In an attempt to obtain …

Cardiac fiber orientation is one of the main determinants of fiber stress and strain during
ejection. We measured fiber orientation using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging …

Purpose To study the apparent diffusivity and its directionality for metabolites of skeletal
muscle in humans in vivo by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Methods The diffusion …

Muscle size does not fully explain variations in muscle strength. Fat content has been
implicated in muscle weakness, though this relationship remains unclear. The relationship …
